Lazlo faced challenging times, required IV fluids, and frequently entered and exited the clinic, but the cat demonstrated his will to survive by meowing loudly at his carer. Jacqueline made the decision to take him in and care for him full-time.

Lazlo was put on a syringe when he was first begun, and he lacked the strength to even stand. They gave him blankets and increased the heat to keep him comfortable.
